Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: Admit it: If you had to pick an artist to give voice to the wackadoo thinkings of a monkey beloved by most of the American populace over age 3, you could do a lot worse than Jack Johnson. Black Eyed Peas? Too hyper. Death Cab for Cutie? Too ironic. They Might Be Giants? Too eggheaded. Johnson, though the object of much rightful jealousy--here, after all, is a guy who only stumbled into music and vaulted himself up the charts after a successful career as a pro surfer--turns out to have the goods to do H.A. Rey, Curious George's creator, proud. Fans familiar with Johnson's earlier discs will recognize a certain laconic sprawl and easy fascination in his songs that suits the theme of perpetual puzzlement perfectly (here, let's not forget, is a guy who racked up fans with songs called "Bubble Toes" and "Banana Pancakes"). That the music takes a childish turn barely registers--songs like opener "Upside Down" are classic Johnson, all wonderment and groove, and the collaborations with friends Ben Harper, G. Love, and Matt Costa warm up, wink, and scamper off before packing on the weight of excess meaning. "We're Going to Be Friends," track seven, seals the deal--when you can make the White Stripes sound compatible with the Man with the Yellow Hat, you know you've got a multi-generational winner. --Tammy La Gorce

Wonderful
I love this cd and I am so glad I bought it. My son always wants me to put it in when he gets in the car. I listen to it without him too and it is great.

Three Good Songs
My eleven-month-old daughter kicks her legs and laughs when I ask her if she wants to hear the "Monkey Song" (Track #1, "Upside Down"). She loves it. But as soon as the next song starts to play, she gets bored and starts to fuss. So we skip to tracks 8 and 9. Those three songs are the only ones she seems to like (presumably because they're the only upbeat songs on the album). Maybe the rest will grow on her, but if not, the CD was still worth the moments of peace it has given us on long car trips!

Parents Enjoy, Too!
This is a great, family-friendly album. Truly, it's the first library rental that I've wanted to OWN. And now I do. Good stuff!

Not just for kids--mommy's favorite too!
I bought this for my son who loves Curious George and the movie, so I thought it would be nice to have some songs from the movie in the car for him to listen to. Well, after listening to the CD, it quickly became MY favorite CD to listen to while driving; I have it memorized! Jack Johnson is amazing. I love that the songs are about everything from going to school, lullaby, sharing, to recycling...it's an eclectic collection of enjoyable songs for children and parents. It's one of the few children's CDs that I can listen to over and over without getting a headache! This CD caused me to buy ALL of Jack Johnson's CDs...
